Do you think God is wrong? To say all Muslims are violently opposed to homosexuality is denying the fact that the USA currently has in office a Muslim, bisexual President. It is not hard to envision what the liberal's next sexual agenda will most likely be.CreepersWiener wrote:I certainly agree with your post here. To say that all Muslims are violently opposed to homosexuals is ludicrous. To make any statement that would suggest an entire group of people would want to oppose homosexuals with violence is not being fair. Certainly individuals would not all agree with the question being asked; however, I can say that Islam is not the only religion that professes the "evils" of homosexuality. The Old Testament gave the commandment:Funkyterrance wrote:I think everyone knew what you meant with the title.
So the question is whether or not its stereotyping to suggest that Muslims are violently opposed to homosexuality then. I'd say it's a generalization at the very least since it can't possibly apply to all Muslims. I suppose it would depend on the Muslim and whether or not if he/she were put in a position to decide whether or not violence should be used against a homosexual/homosexual acts. Tbh I'm not even knowledgeable enough about the religion to know if it's belief system dictates one way or another.Putting homosexuals to death was apparently commanded by God, and not only Muslims practiced executing homosexuals. My question would be: "Does GOD violently oppose homosexuals?" Because the obvious answer is: "Yes!"Leviticus 20:13 wrote:If a man lie with a man, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Sounds like a misinformed conspiracy theory and/or you have developed preconceived notions about what different groups will impose on others. There are 72 nations that homosexuality is illegal. 7 countries have the death sentence as a possible penalty, although usually not on the first offense. Do you suggest that we militarily overthrow these nations and install a homosexual puppet President [dictator, in more ways than 1] to enforce your liberal ideals?notyou2 wrote:The people that are making decrees and laws in the countries that are executing homosexuals are doing it for the power and the control. Next it will be the christians and jews, if there are any living there, then the intelligentsia, then any muslim sect that differs from the rulers sect, and so on. This is no different than what hitler did to the jews, the gypsies, the homosexuals and anyone that was different or spoke out. It's all about CONTROL. These guys are just using religion as an excuse, like so many others be they christian, jewish or muslim, or any other religious group or order. It won't stop until we all see it for what it really is....HATE.
No but we can scorn them for their lawmakers/whoever* being a bunch of homophobic fuckwads.GeneralRisk wrote:Sounds like a misinformed conspiracy theory and/or you have developed preconceived notions about what different groups will impose on others.

The obvious answer is not yes. God gives you free will, love and forgiveness. Unless you prefer the vengeful version of the almighty who is your judge, jury and executioner. Either way it's not man's job to carry dish out punishments justified by holy books, let God sort it out. Select "translations" of the Bible & Koran that suit particular agendas are applied to homosexuality, while translations that might have an effect on other aspects of how you live your life are ignored.CreepersWiener wrote:Putting homosexuals to death was apparently commanded by God, and not only Muslims practiced executing homosexuals.

Some of the concept of "We need to stop the bad people." Stems from when God gave a a select chosen people laws. Those laws were specific and tough to follow. But at the time they were there to keep those specifically chosen people pure in order to enter temples that no longer exist.TeeGee wrote:I am no expert on any religion, I prefer the Big Bang theory. I have never read the christian bible, but doesn't that say all things about homosexuality are bad and should be punished? Why single out Muslims?

I skimmed through the past pages, so might have missed this point, but it seems that you are really asking 2-3 different questions in one.2dimes wrote:I'm curious about this.
Sorry there's no spectator options. Even though that pains me, you must chose of you want to vote.
I have left it so you can change your opinion later if you wish.
Perhaps you meant to ask if Muslims are prejudice or if people, in general using religion to harm homosexuals is justified.. but that was not your question.2dimes wrote:In case anyone comes in here and then starts wondering.
Not only was I not asking any of those three questions. I fail to see any connection between them and what I was asking.
I guess it is up to angry mobs or religious zealots (yes possibly "Christians") to decide wether it is right to, beat, kill or merely threaten people to insure they don't walk in an area where they have lived nearly all their life.

"Do you think it's racist to suggest Muslims are violently opposed to homosexuality?"
I don't really care about why or if there is a possibility that opinion is flawed by semantics.
How in the bloody blue puddle of beer flakes did you make the jump to the Muslims being racist?
Which two terms am I supposed to tell the difference between? thegreekdog's high school English teacher turns over in her grave.2dimes wrote:Why, just because there are some who are not?
Can you not discern the difference between terms?
Prejudice? Yes. Offensive? To a few people? Yes.
Arguably you might suggest being prejudice is what makes someone a bigot but if that's true everyone is a bigot because you can't avoid being prejudice sometimes. There is a difference in my opinion between people with the ability to overlook a prejudice and those that cannot. That can be a problem even if it's a positive prejudice.
Example, "XXXX is a religion of peace and can't lead to violence." I just as wrong as saying, All of a group of people are or will do the exact same thing.
Even though saying. Islam is typically a religion of peace, many Muslims are gentle people who would not commit acts of violence without just provocation like most normal people. Is correct.
Is there a difference?

"Is it offensive to suggest Muslims are violently opposed to homosexuality?"
Yes. It is offensive and possibly bigoted.
Well yeah, that's kind of in the direction that I'm going here.thegreekdog wrote:It is a broad generalization based upon a religion. That tends to make it offensive (depending on how it is used - and how it was used by what's-his-face is offensive).
"XXXX is a religion of peace" is not a generalization about a group of people; it is a statement about a religion. If you were to say "Muslims are peaceful," I think that is a generalization. It may not be offensive because it doesn't have a negative tone.
Being bigoted means one who regards or treats the members of a group with intolerance of hatred (according to Merriam-Webster).
Yeah and if other guy knew that it was indeed what's-his-face even though it's prejudice it might be correct to label what's-his-face as racist. Completely seperate conversation really.The way in which what's-his-face posted, he is being bigoted. He is regarding members of the same group with intolerance and hatred.
